Five patients with hepatic metastases of midgut carcinoid underwent somatostatin receptor scintigraphy with indium-111 pentetreotide before and during treatment with octreotide. Octreotide treatment changed the biodistribution of111In-pentetreotide significantly. Whereas the radioactivity in liver, spleen and kidney decreased, hepatic metastases showed increased contrast. In one patient, liver metastases could only be detected during octreotide treatment. These data suggest that the diagnostic reliability of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy in carcinoid liver metastases is not necessarily compromised by octreotide therapy. Because of different biodistributions, the detection of liver metastases may even be improved during octreotide therapy.
